Ultra-reliable low-latency Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications are needed to meet the extreme requirements of enhanced driving applications. Millimeter-Wave (24.25-52.6 GHz) or sub-THz (>100 GHz) V2X communications are a viable solution, provided that the highly collimated beams are kept aligned during vehicles maneuverings. In this work, we propose a sensor-assisted dynamic Beamwidth and Power Control (BPC) system to counteract the detrimental effect of vehicle dynamics, exploiting data collected by on-board inertial and positioning sensors, mutually exchanged among vehicles over a parallel low-rate link, e.g., 5G New Radio (NR) Frequency Range 1 (FR1). The proposed BPC solution works on top of a sensor-aided Beam Alignment and Tracking (BAT) system, overcoming the limitations of fixed-beamwidth systems and optimizing the performance in challenging Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) scenarios, even if extensions to Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) use-cases are feasible. We validate the sensor-assisted dynamic BPC on real trajectories and sensors data collected by a dedicated experimental campaign. The goal is to show the advantages of the proposed BPC strategy in a high data-rate Line-Of-Sight (LOS) V2V context, and to outline the requirements in terms of sensors sampling time and accuracy, along with the end-to-end latency on the control channel.

A high-rate yet low-cost air-to-ground (A2G) communication backbone is conceived for integrating the space and terrestrial network by harnessing the opportunistic assistance of the passenger planes or high altitude platforms (HAPs) as mobile base sta tions (BSs) and millimetre wave communication. The airliners act as the network-provider for the terrestrial users while relying on satellite backhaul. Three different beamforming techniques relying on a large-scale planar array are used for transmission by the airliner/HAP for achieving a high directional gain, hence minimizing the interference among the users. Furthermore, approximate spectral efficiency (SE) and area spectral efficiency (ASE) expressions are derived and quantified for diverse system parameters.
We study a mm-wave wireless network deployed along the roads of an urban area, to support localization and communication services simultaneously for outdoor mobile users. In this network, we propose a mm-wave initial beam-selection scheme based on lo calization-bounds, which greatly reduces the initial access delay as compared to traditional initial access schemes for standalone mm-wave base station (BS). Then, we introduce a downlink transmission protocol, in which the radio frames are partitioned into three phases, namely, initial access, data, and localization, respectively. We establish a trade-off between the localization and communication performance of mm-wave systems, and show how enhanced localization can actually improve the data-communication performance. Our results suggest that dense BS deployments enable to allocate more resources to the data phase while still maintaining appreciable localization performance. Furthermore, for the case of sparse deployments and large beam dictionary size (i.e., with thinner beams), more resources must be allotted to the localization phase for optimizing the rate coverage. Based on our results, we provide several system design insights and dimensioning rules for the network operators that will deploy the first generation of mm-wave BSs.
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a recently introduced technology for future wireless com-munication systems, enhances the spectral and energy efficiency by intelligently adjusting the propaga-tion conditions between a base station (BS) and mobile equipments (MEs). An RIS consists of manylow-cost passive reflecting elements to improve the quality of the received signal. In this paper, westudy the problem of power control at the BS for the RIS aided physical-layer broadcasting. Our goalis to minimize the transmit power at the BS by jointly designing the transmit beamforming at the BSand the phase shifts of the passive elements at the RIS. Furthermore, to help validate the proposedoptimization methods, we derive lower bounds to quantify the average transmit power at the BS as afunction of the number of MEs, the number of RIS elements, and the number of antennas at the BS.The simulation results demonstrated that the average transmit power at the BS is close to the lowerbound in an RIS aided system, and is significantly lower than the average transmit power in conventionalschemes without the RIS.
Precoding has stood out as a promising multi-user transmission technique to meet the emerging throughput demand of satellite communication systems while awaiting the technological maturity for exploiting higher bands. Precoding enables the reduction of interference among co-channel beams through spatial processing while promoting aggressive frequency reuse and improving spectral efficiency. Satellite systems offer multitude of system and service configurations, resulting in different precoder design methodologies. This article explores the motivation for the introduction of precoding, offers an insight to their theoretical development in a diverse scenarios and presents some avenues for future development.
This paper investigates an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided cooperative communication network, where the IRS exploits large reflecting elements to proactively steer the incident radio-frequency wave towards destination terminals (DTs). As t he number of reflecting elements increases, the reflection resource allocation (RRA) will become urgently needed in this context, which is due to the non-ignorable energy consumption. The goal of this paper, therefore, is to realize the RRA besides the active-passive beamforming design, where RRA is based on the introduced modular IRS architecture. The modular IRS consists with multiple modules, each of which has multiple reflecting elements and is equipped with a smart controller, all the controllers can communicate with each other in a point-to-point fashion via fiber links. Consequently, an optimization problem is formulated to maximize the minimum SINR at DTs, subject to the module size constraint and both individual source terminal (ST) transmit power and the reflecting coefficients constraints. Whereas this problem is NP-hard due to the module size constraint, we develop an approximate solution by introducing the mixed row block $ell_{1,F}$-norm to transform it into a suitable semidefinite relaxation. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the meaningfulness of the introduced modular IRS architecture.
